Hey, I'm new here guys so still learning but I was checking for a while and wasn't able to come up with anything similar to this so I'm gonna make it my first post in hopes of getting help. Bought a '97 Accord LX from a guy recently and I'm doing little things at a time to get it looking better, runs great, just a few cosmetic issues. But I've noticed when I open all four of my doors, the dome light does not come on when in the "door" position. The lights on the doors light up, but the top light does not. In researching this, I've replaced the rubber switches that detect when the door is open and closed and still no luck. But what I did notice is that on my dash, the "door ajar" sensors only work for the passenger side doors. When I open the driver door and the back seat door on the driver side, the red lights do not light up to indicate that they are open...

Any suggestions?...

 

Sounds like a break somewhere in the wires. I tried to track this all down. Its a PITA. Get a FSM and look at the wiring diagram if you have time and patience.

 

Cool yeah I'm willing to do whatever but I need some clarification. PITA and FSM? Lol sorry. Work with me a bit. I really appreciate it.

 

PITA=pain in the *&%
FSM= Factory Service Manual

 

Ok, gotchu. lol Thx man. I'll get that and check it out.
